s13 and s14 FLCA OEM/Nismo bushings the same? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

az_240 · 10-05-2010, 02:02 PM

I'm trying to find replacement rubber bushings for my front lower control arms on the s14. The Nismo part number for these is 54560-RS590.

I cannot find anything besides poly bushings for the flca on s14 which I will not use due to the amount of friction they bring.

I remember replacing a flca on my car... but was sold a s13 arm instead of the s14 arm. The poly bushings I had at the time seemed to fit both arms just fine.

BUT when I look up part numbers for the Nismo bushings they are different for s13 and s14.

I can find s13 bushings all day long... s14 is discontinued. Does anyone know if I can use the s13 nismo FLCA bushings in s14 FLCAs?

Decided to just bring my s14 FLCA into the local dealership to see if these s13 nismo bushings (part # 54535-RS520) would fit.

It looks like they fit perfectly!

I wonder why Nissan/Nismo has two different part numbers for these bushings!?!? Energy suspension also has two different part numbers for the s13 and s14 FLCA bushings.

Anyone know why?

S13 front lower bushings (54535-RS520) are a smaller diameter vs S14 front lower bushings (54560-RS590)
